Struggles Seniors and People with Disabilities Face

physical health

Simple, everyday tasks that we take for granted are much more difficult for seniors and people with disabilities. Tasks like cooking and grocery shopping become difficult or impossible, and the act of eating itself may require assistance. Bathing, using the bathroom, personal hygiene, and doing laundry can oftentimes be challenging when movement is restricted.

Preventative measures also need to be taken to prevent falling, bedsores, and wheelchair-related pressure sores. A major part of our grant consideration is based on if the nonprofit provides solutions to these problems.

mental health

In addition to physical health, seniors and people with disabilities are at higher risk for depression, loneliness, anxiety, and sleep-related disorders. Remembering to pay bills and keep finances in order can also become difficult.

Forgetting to take medications or to take too much of a medication by accident is common as people age. Therefore, medication reminders become important to avoid accidental overdoses and stay on a care plan.
